informative
slow-paced
4.0
A thorough introduction to asexuality and aromanticism, especially in the context of minority communities. At times difficult to focus on for prolonged periods, but very inclusive and well researched.

Minor: Acephobia/Arophobia and Homophobia
liteartha's review against another edition
hopeful
informative
reflective
as i’ve very recently begun questioning my own potential ace/aro spectrum identity, the emotional impact here has dramatically coloured my reading experience, but this was such a solid read! informative, nuanced, and reflective. i really appreciated the balance between the journalistic writing style and personal anecdotes/insights, as well as the emphasis throughout on the intersections of other identities (gender, race, disability, etc.) within the ace framework
in particular, the section in chapter seven about the concept of QPPs (queerplatonic partners) validated and gave language to an existing partnership in my life in a way that nothing else ever has and quite nearly made me cry at work while listening to the audiobook so thanks for that, angela chen!
